He asked that the oak trees not be disturbed. Braman said the DNR has not responded to that specific concern. He said they were informed that the roots of trees should be severed to ensure infected trees .not spread disease. Jabbour asked that the applicant submit a report from a tree expert on this issue. Braman will provide this information as part of the forthcoming information from the DNR. A progress report is to be submitted before any decision is made at the next Council meeting. Morrison said a plan will be submitted before that meeting, and he will keep the City updated. Jabbour asked if enough information was provided to allow a document be drafted for adoption at the next Council meeting. He asked that findings be prepared to allow for action to be taken regarding the EA W at the special meeting. Gaffi-on said the package will be formatted for EAW acceptance with no EIS required. He will work with Radio in drafting the document. Goetten asked for updated material prior to the meeting. · Crosby asked for clarification on payment of the upgrade of Spring Hill Road. Jabbour said this would depend on where the access is located. If the existing access is approved, Jabbour clanhed that a by-pass lane would be mcluded. Kelley said the by-pass lane should be long enough to allow for cars to move into that lane soon enough for the next oncorrung car. There were no additional public comments. The special meeting was scheduled to continue discussion of the EAW on May 21 at 6:00 p.m. Braman noted that the majority of the information should be available at that time. Jabbour moved, Kelley seconded, to continue the review of the CUP to the Council meeting ofMay 27 and the EAW review to the special meeting ofMay 21 at 6:00 p.m. or to the May 27 Council meeting if said meeting is canceled. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. (There was a 10 minute recess.) (#6) #2222 JOSEPH VOCHKO, 2925 CASCO POINT ROAD -VARIANCE AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-RESOLUTION NO. 3898 The applicant was present. Van Zomeren reported that the after-the-fact application is .for a CUP and hardcover variance for a boulder wall that is partially in place. The Planning Commission recommended approval subject to conditions regarding the placement ofthe boulders as noted in the staff memo. It was noted that it is difficult, if not impossible, to ·obtain approval of a boui<ler wail from a structural engineer. The ciate in the resoimion has been changed from April to May. 15 l\llNUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON.MAY 12, 1997 (#6 -#2222 Joseph Vochko -Continued) Goetten said some of her concerns were answered after speaking with the applicant. She asked Cook to comment. Cook was informed of the slope of the hill, the height of the wall, and the boulders being placed in "pockets';. Cook said he was comfortable with the use of large b oulders which· should be fairly stable. Jabbour noted that the Council cannot give direction regarding safety and engineering but address only the aesthetics and hardcover issues. Goetten moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3898. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. (Mayor/Council Report follows Agenda Item 12) ENGJNEER REPORT (*#11) APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND ADVERTISE FOR BIDS -BAY RIDGE/BRACKETTS POJNT SEWER PROJECT-RESOLUTION NO. 3900 Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3900 approving the plans and specifications and ordering advertisement for bids. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. (#12) COUNTY ROAD.19/TONKA VIE\V DRAINAGE SITUATION Property owners, John Bessessen and Kathy Sawicki, were present to discuss this issue. Gappa said work began last summer to make improvements regarding drainage problems by use of ditching and rip~rap and an overlay on CoRd 19 to reduce the amount of water traveling down that road. This did not solve the problem. The two property owners have incurred $46,000 in damages in 1996. History of the problems are relayed in the report. Gappa said the best solution is to create a ponding area to limit the flow into the existing culvert that runs under CoRd 19 to divert water flow from Tonkaview. The engineering cost reflects regrading of the intersection with catch basins and a storm sewer by the ponding area to reduce flow into the lake. Conversations have been held with the property owner where the pond is to be created. Gappa said it is his intention to present this recommendation to the Council to obtain approval to proceed with the concept. Jabbour asked if the land in question is currently wetlands. Cook said the property is more pasture land that is not maintained. It is not wet. 16 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: ITEMNO.: g: Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: Name Liz Van Zomeren Zoning Title City Planner Item Description: #2222 Joseph Vochko, 2925 Casco Point Road Conditional Use Permit and Variance Public Hearing Zoning District: LRl-C, One Family Lakeshore Residential District (1/2 acre), Sewered Application: Applicant is seeking a conditional use permit to replace stairway and install a retaining wall within the 0'-75' setback.

A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCES TO MUNICIPAL ZONING CODE SECTION 10.22, SUBDIVISION 2 AND GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PER SECTION 10.03, SUBDIVISION 19 THROUGH 21 FILE NO. 2222 WHEREAS, Joseph Vochko (hereinafter the "applicant") has an interest in the property located at 2925 Casco Point Road hereinafter the owner within the City of Orono (hereinafter "City") and legally described as follows: Lot 96, Spring Park, and that part of vacated Lakeshore A venue accruing thereto, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter the "property"); and WHEREAS, the applicant has applied to the City for variances to Municipal Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to allow hardcover where no hardcover is allowed and has requested a conditional use permit per Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 19 through 21 for land alteration within the Shoreland District. The above conditional use permit and variance to allow for the construction of a stairway and installation of a retaining wall per the following. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #2222. 2. The property is located in the LR-lC Zoning District where one-half acre is required. The property is sewered. 3. This is an after-the-fact variance and conditional use permit application. 4. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 21, 1997 and recommended approval of the proposed variance and conditional use permit based upon the following findings: A. The steeped topography of the lot requires a stairway to access the lake front. Page 1 of 4 B. Construction activities will include excavation and placement of boulders along the shoreline. 5 . The Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 6. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow proposed installation of a retention wall will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property, nor will its use depreciate surrounding property values and that the proposed level of use of the property will be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to allow a hardcover variance for boulder retaining wall and stairway in the 0-7 5' setback to increase hardcover from 220 s.f. or 4.8% to 390 s.f. or 8.6% where no hardcover is normally allowed and has requested a conditional use permit per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 19 through 21 for land alteration in the Shoreland District. The above conditional use permit and variance to allow the construction of a stairway and installation of a boulder retaining wall subject to the following conditions: 1. The voids between the boulders shall be filled with vegetative growth to prevent piping and erosion. Page 2 of 4 2. Boulder-to-boulder contact shall be established during construction. If the boulders come loose in the future, they shall be replaced in their original position. 3. If the boulders do not remain in place, then the boulders shall be restrained and pinned into the hillside. 4. If the boulders do not retain earth after reinforcement, the conditional use permit shall be amended and the concrete retaining wall referenced in the 3/20/97 letter from GME consultants shall be constructed. 5. The boulder retaining wall shall be annually reviewed by the Building Official to determine compliance with the conditional use permit. 6. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the owner, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a land alteration permit within one year of the date of Council's approval, or the special conditions of this resolution will expire on that date (April 28, 1998). 7. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the Zoning Code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor. 8. The undersigned applicant has read, understood and hereby agrees to the terms of this resolution and on behalf of himself, his heirs, successors and assigns, hereby agrees to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of the property.

Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 At your request, a copy of the amended rip rap plan for the above referenced prope1iy has been enclosed. You have also asked for more detail on the City's approval of specific land alterations to be completed on the land side of the rip rap project. "- you have already been advised that the City did not approve the original plan that would have called for the filling of 30 cubic yards of material. This intense a filling project would have required a conditional use permit and variance approval from the City of Orono. Mr. Spartz and Bruce Vang, Orono's Building Inspector, have agreed that final land alterations required to the land side of the rip rap will be approved by Bruce at the time of a site inspection. Mr. Spartz has agreed to call Bruce when the snow has been removed and the distburbed area is ready for restoration. Bruce has advised that it is impossible to make a determination but it is hoped that the borrowing of fill will be limited to "a wheelbarrow full or two of black dirt". It is difficult for staff to make any definite estimates as the information presented to the City is limited to the cross section of the rip rap. We do not have a plan view, survey or topographic map. At the time the snow is cleared away, the inspector hopes to be able to see what the shoreline actually looks like. The goal for the City and we hope for the landowner is to provide an appropriate amount of topsoil so that groundcover is restored to all disburbed areas. The City has not approved any major changes in existing elevations or topography within defined work area of this rip rap project. Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510 Mr. Eugene R.

Excelsior, Minnesota 55331 GME Project No. 6721 RE: Design recommendations for the block retaining wall construction at the Vochko residence in Orono, Minnesota Dear Mr. Spartz: This report presents our design recommendations for the proposed granite block retaining wall at the Vochko property in Orono . This work was performed in accordance with your written acceptance of our contract dated February 13, 1997. Project Description The property owner, Mr. Joe Vochko, has retained you to construct a granite block retaining wall on the residential lot at 2925 Casco Point Road in Orono . The existing wooden stairway and timber retaining walls leading from the residence down to Lake Minnetonka have been removed. You plan to reconstruct the stairway and retaining walls using cut Cold Spring granite blocks and slabs. Each granite retaining wall block is trapezoidal in shape with dimensions of 6-5/8 inches high by 10 inches deep by 14 inches long. Each block weighs approximately 80 pounds. We have attached with this report a copy of the site plan you prepared showing the location of the wall and wall heights. The wall will have a maximum height of 5.25 feet in one corner of the walkway (designated as the intersection of walls A and B). From this corner, the wall will slope downward to a minimum height of 1.84 feet (three blocks). At the tallest wall sections, you plan to anchor the blocks into the hillside using conventional helical screw anchors fastened to the blocks with threaded anchor bolts. The walls and stairway will be constructed at the same location and same heights as the previous timber wall. WILLIAM C. KWASNY, P.E . GREGORY R . REUTER , P.E. MAR K 0 . MILLSOP, P.G .

Mr. Steven Spartz GME Project No. 6721 ,., '\ ,t ,\ 2 I tr . I ,i t-..... ~-Fe b'i-uary 18, 1997 As an additional component of the project, you have placed 3 foot diameter boulders approximately 4 to 5 feet behind the existing rock riprap along the level bench in the slope at the toe of the hillside. These boulders were placed for erosion control at the toe of the slope. This spring, you plan to fill the voids between the boulders with soil to establish a vegetative growth. Scope of Services Our scope of services for this project, as outlined .in our contract, is limited to providing design and construction recommendations for the proposed granite block retaining wall, and also to present our evaluations concerning the suitability of the · boulders for erosion protection. Our scope of services do not include a global stability analysis of the hillside . Our wall recommendations will only be provided with respect to local stability of the wall system and erosional stability of the boulder facing zone. Design Recommendations Soil information is not available, therefore, we have had to make certain assumptions for our design. We assume that the foundation and retained soil will consist of stiff sandy clay till having a moist unit weight of 130 pounds per cubic foot, a drained friction angle of 27°, and a remolded undrained shear strength of 250 pounds per square foot. The walls should be embedded at least one block course (6.5 inches) below final grade in front of the wall. We recommend that the lowest block layer bear on a compacted gravel or crushed stone base having minimum dimensions of 6 inches deep by 18 inches wide. The gravel should conform to Mn/DOT 3149 .2B. The gravel or crushed stone base should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum Standard Proctor dry density, ASTM: D 698. Prior to constructing the granular base, the exposed clay subgrade should be observed for soft or loose zones. These zones would require additional subcutting and replacement with compacted granular fill . A 1 foot wide piece of filter fabric (Mn/DOT 3733, Type 1) should be placed on top of the gravel base course, beneath the joint between the lowest block course and the granite walkway slab in front, to minimize pumping of the base course through the joint. The fabric should not extend beneath the entire width of block. We recommend that the block wall be constructed with a slight batter of 6° (3/4 inch setback per block) back into the retained embankment. We recommend that the backfill within at least 6 inches of the back of the wall consist of free draining granular fill such as Mn/DOT 3149.2H. At the base of the drainage layer, we recommend placing a 4 inch diameter slotted pipe (Mn/DOT 3278) wrapped with a Type I filter fabric (Mn/DOT 3733). The drain pipe should allow gravity drainage of accumulated water away from the walls . Therefore, the pipe should daylight down slope . '-------------------GME CONSULTANTS , INC. ------------------ Mr. Steven Spartz GME Project No. 6721 February 18, 1997 Where the walls are than three block courses in height, we recommend that each block (including the blocks below three block courses) be adhered together with a high modulus outdoor construction epoxy, such as Hilte ClOO or Seca 32. The use of the epoxy is required since the blocks have very little block to block shear resistance. Please be advised, however, that by adhering the blocks, some cracking may occur over time, due to frost induced movement. Where the wall is higher than four block courses in height~ we also recommend restraining the wall by the installation of earth anchors. The anchors should be 5 feet long and have a single 6 inch diameter helix at the end. Anchors should be attached to the .fourth and seventh block courses. We recommend that the anchors be spaced two block courses horizontally. We have amended your elevation drawings to indicate the location of the anchors. These amended drawings are attached. The anchors should be carefully rotated horizontally into the clay soil. Careful installation of the anchors will be required to reduce disturbance of the clay as the helix and shaft enter the soil. Each anchor mus\;_ be installed so that the entire 5 foot length is em0ecided into the soil. The anchor should be properly tensioned and appropriately secured to the block. In our opinion, the attachment detail you indicate on your drawings would be adequate. Included with this report is a diagram that you had prepared outlining the bluff toe protection that you have partially implemented by the installation of the 3 foot diameter boulders. During our site visit of February 12, 1997, we observed that the boulders had already been placed. We recommend that the voids between the boulders be filled with topsoil, and that the vegetative growth be established (Mn/DOT 2575) on the exposed topsoil between the boulders. Some slumping of the topsoil may occur with time, into the voids, and these slumped zones should be backfilled with topsoil, and vegetation should be re­ established. In our opinion, this toe protection should be adequate for erosion control of the exposed slope face at the location of the boulders, provided that adequate vegetation can be established and maintained between the boulders. Concluding Comments We recommend that you complete the "Project Quality Contractor - Project Completion Form" after construction. It is understood by all parties that the contractor will be responsible for the methods and results of his/her work. We will not warrant, assure, or guarantee the work of the contractor. The contractor must comply with the latest OSHA regulations for trench and slope excavation, and general construction site safety. The contractor must designate one of his field personnel as the OSHA 11 Competent Person" who must be capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards on site, including temporary slope stability. The Competent Person must have authorization to direct prompt corrective measures to eliminate hazards. GME will not accept any responsibility or liability for construction safety on this project.

My land is flat, and as you approach the lakeshore, there is about a 20 foot hill descending to a flat beach area at the base of the hill, which then has rip rap descending into the lake. I purchased my property three years ago and this is where I plan to live the rest of my life and raise a family. I am getting married this fall. It was my dream to live on Lake Minnetonka and now it is my goal to improve my property. I would like to request a Building Permit to do the following. Replace Stairway The present stairway is built into the hill and has a switch back as it descends down the hill to the lakeshore. The previous owners built the stairway out of used railway ties which were probably half rotted when they put them in. It has reached the point now that the railway ties are totally rotting out. Because of their decaying condition they are becoming unsafe and allowing erosion. Specifically, the present four foot railway tie wall at the first platform is collapsing due to decay and allowing erosion. My plan is to replace them with granite steps with the proper foundation so that it will be stable and attractive for many years to come. Enclosed is a building plan by my contractor which has been reviewed and certified by a certified engineer for a stable, erosion resistant, long lasting granite block stairway. The new stairway will follow the exact same track as the old stairway. This spring, after the stairway is built, my fiancee and I plan to plant numerous shrubs, etc. to control erosion and 'beautify the hill surrounding the stairway. Random Placed Boulders At Base of Hill The base of my hill has had several mud slides over the previous years. I would like to stabilize the base of the hill by randomly placing large boulders into the face of the hill. These large boulders by their great mass will serve to stabilize the base of the hill. Enclosed is a building plan by my contractor which has been reviewed and certified by a certified engineer for a stable, erosion resistant, long lasting random placed boulder out cropping at the base of the hill. This spring, after the boulders are in place, my fiancee plan to plant various shrubs, etc. in between the boulders to aid in controlling erosion and to beautify the hill. We believe that the random boulders provide a much more aesthetically pleasing appearance versus a cold, stark timber wall or something similar. The randomly placed boulders look much more natural on the hillside. We plan to add shrubs , etc. to give the area sort of a north woods boulder, shrubby appearance. Enclosed is my contractor's permit proposal and his engineer's evaluation of this proposal. Also, enclosed is my check for $175.00 for the permit fee. If any additional information or money is required, please contact me and I will provide whatever is necessary. We hope that the above project will provide an environmentally sound and beautiful addition to our land. We believe that the view from the lake should be a great improvement over what was previously there. I hope that the above proposal will meet with your approval. Sincerely, Joe Vochko Mr. Joseph F. Vochko 2925 Casco Point Road Wayzata, MN 55391 Dear Mr. Vochko: CITY of ORONO Street Address: 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono, MN 55356 Municipal Offices February 24, 1997 Mailing Address: P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323·0066 I have reviewed your application for a conditional use permit which was submitted at 12:30 p.m. ( after the noon deadline) on Friday, February 21, 1997, and am writing to inform you that the application is incomplete·as submitted for the following reasons: 1. The application is filled out for a "residential accessory use". The application should be properly referenced as a conditional use permit for land alteration to allow retaining walls within the 0'-75' setback of the lakeshore. Additionally, the proposed retaining walls will also require a hardcover variance. The fee schedule for the conditional use permit and variance 1s: Application Fee After the Fact Fee Conditional Use Permit $250.00 $500.00 Variance $75.00 $150.00 TOTAL: $650.00 An additional $475.00 is required before this application will be processed. Please be advised that the only authorized body that can waive remittance of the penalty fee for an after-the-fact application is the Orono City Council after the full amount has been remitted. I will amend the application as noted on the enclosure to indicate that this is for a conditional use permit and a variance. 2. A certified survey of the 0'-75' setback area showing all existing and proposed improvements, excluding riprap along the shoreline is required. The survey must also include a hardcover worksheet which is enclosed for your use. (Normally, we would require a full survey of the Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510 entire site, however, in an attempt to expedite this application, we are requesting a partial survey for only the 0'-75' setback area). 3. The GME Consultants Inc. report of 2/18/97 has been sent to the City Engineer for his review and comment. When I have received his comments on this report I will forward them to you. This item will not be scheduled for a public hearing until the fee has been submitted along with the additional information that has been requested above. If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at your earliest convenience at 473-7357.

WI M We have reviewed the proposC\d granite hlock retaining wall construction on the Vochko property at 2925 Casco Point Road. We have the following comments in regard:-to engineering mnttcrs. 1. Retaining Wall: The design prepare.d by GME Consultanti,;, Inc. appears to he acceptable from an engineering standpoint. The applicant should contact the City at least 48 hours prior to the wall installation Lo 1,c:hedule a series of inspections. The. inspectors should verify that the construction recomme .. ndaLions detailed in the GME report are impkmented in the field. 2. Bluf'f Toe Protect.ion: The random placcnrnnt of boulders previously done at the property includes houlders placed nearly nn top of each other ~t a 1,teep slope, with uncompactcd fill placed between them. The previously placed boulders should be reinslalled so that then.\ is a horizontal separation between the front and back or the two rows of boulders, in accordance with the cross sectional dettdl provided with th(j GME design. 2. Erosion Control: Prlor to starting lhe work, proper erosion control measures must he in place, such as silt fence. Shortly after the work is completed, the disturbed areas should he sodded or seeded wilh u suitable ground cover. Please contact rne al this office if ym1 have any questions re.garding this matter.

This was pursuant to concerns raised by the City of Orono and the City Engineer, Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates. On March 19, 1997, we met Mr. Vochko on-site and observed the boulder placement. We understand these boulders were placed during the fall and winter of 1996-1997. The boulders were randomly stacked to form a relatively steep angle approximately 4 to 5 feet high. There is a horizontal separation or terrace between the boulders and the rock riprap placed for shore line protection. We understand that the voids between the boulders will be filled with topsoil and a vegetative growth will be established between the boulders, to prevent piping and erosion of the retained earth through the voids between the boulders. To our knowledge, there is no accurate way to quantify the stability of the existing boulders. However, based on our experience, we offer the following opinions. In our judgement, the boulders should be stable in their current configuration provided that good boulder to boulder contact was established during construction. Please note, however, that over time some isolated boulders may loosen and become unstable. If this should occur, then additional boulders should be placed, or the boulders should be replaced to their original position. If this is unacceptable, then in our judgement, one method of increasing the stability would be to place additional boulders in front of the existing boulders to form a flatter angle. However, this would result in the loss of some area (terrace) separating the boulders from the shore line riprap which, to our understanding, is not acceptable to the owner. W ILLIAM C. KW ASNY, P.E.

MERVYN MINDESS, P.E . STEVEN J . RUES INK, P.E. Mr . Stephen G. Spartz GME Project No. 6721 2 March 20, 1997 As an alternative, you could consider restraining the boulders by the use of heavy gauge, galvanized wire mesh which is placed in front of the boulders and pinned into the hillside through the use of earth anchors. The wire mesh could be placed such that it would be, for the most part, hidden from view by the vegetative growth. We envision that this scheme would entail removing selective boulders and installing 5 foot long, 6 inch diameter helical earth anchors into the hillside at approximately 5 to 6 foot horizontal spacings . It would be important to have appropriate structural connections from the earth anchors to the wire mesh, utilizing steel bearing places or similar devices. Please be advised that we were requested to provide an opinion concerning local stability of the boulders only. Our scope of work does not include global stability of the hillside, that is, stability of the soil beyond the boulders.

PERMIT FOR PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS IN RIGHT-OF-WAY -RESOLUTION NO. 3885 None of the applicants were present. Gaffron explained that three property owners on Big Island, who have adjoining properties separated by a dedicated right-of-way, propose to share a septic system. They initially requested vacation of the right-of-way because part of the replacement septic system was in the right-of­ way. Planning Commission did not respond positively to the vacation so the applicants had the site evaluator redesign the system The drainfield is now totally within one of the properties but · they still need a permit to put piping in the right-of-way to connect all three properties to the septic system. Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions noted in the staff memo of April 23, 1997.

This is an after-the-fact variance and conditional use permit application. 4. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on April 21, 1997 and recommended approval of the proposed variance and conditional use permit based upon the following findings: Page 1 of 4 CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. _______ _ A. The steep topography of the lot requires a stairway to access the lake front. B. Construction activities will include excavation and placement of boulders along the shoreline. 5. The Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 6. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow proposed installation of a retention wall will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard, or other danger to neighboring property, nor will its use depreciate surrounding property values and that the proposed level of use of the property will be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 to allow a hardcover variance for boulder retaining wall and stairway in the 0-75' setback to increase hardcover from 220 s.f. or 4.8% to 390 s.f. or 8.6% where no hardcover is normally allowed and has requested a conditional use permit per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 19 through 21 for land alteration in the Shoreland District. The above conditional use permit and variance to allow the construction of a stairway and installation of a boulder retaining wall subject to the following conditions: 1. The voids between the boulders shall be filled with vegetative growth to prevent piping and erosion. Page 2 of 4 CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. ______ _ 2. Boulder-to-boulder contact shall be established during construction. If the boulders come loose in the future, they shall be replaced in their original position. 3. If the boulders do not remain in place, then the boulders shall be restrained and pinned into the hillside. 4. If the boulders do not retain earth after reinforcement, the conditional use permit shall be amended and the concrete retaining wall referenced in the 3/20/97 letter from GME consultants shall be constructed. 5. The boulder retaining wall shall be annually reviewed by the Building Official to determine compliance with the conditional use permit. 6. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the property not with the owner, but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a land alteration permit within one year of the date of Council's approval, or the special conditions of this resolution will expire on that date (April 28, 1998). 7. Violation of or non-compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation of the Zoning Code, shall automatically terminate any authority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor. 8.

MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION 1\.ffiETING HELD ON APRIL 21, 1997 (#6 -#2221-Sven Wasberg and Arlene DeCandia-Continued) Stoddard said he would support the application if the existing foundation were used. If not, he asked that the residence be repositioned and made smaller. Wasberg said he would move the design back on the lot. He also indicated he informed the neighbor that he would plant a row of trees between their properties. Berg indicated the applicant should be able to move the proposed residence back behind the average lakeshore setback line. Lindquist suggested tabling the application to allow the residence to be redesigned for a smaller structure that could be placed further back on the property. Wasberg indicated he cannot pull the entire structure behind the 75' setback because he needs room to back a car out. Lindquist asked Wasberg to work with his architect on the design. He also asked the applicant to attempt to eliminate the need for a side setback. Wasberg asked for direction on how big the structure may be. After discussion, the applicant was informed to limit the structure coverage to 1500 s.f. Hawn suggested the structure be shifted so it lays perpendicular rather than parallel to the . shoreline ..

The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. The Applicant was present. Van Zomeren reported that the application is a request for an after-the-fact variance and conditional use pennit for the construction of a retaining wall and stairway. Hardcover · variance is required for the wall in the 0-75' setback and the CUP to alter the retaining wall. The work was stopped in progress. Letters from and to the applicant are part of the · package. The resolution would allow the applicant to place random boulders. The engineering consultant recommended the boulders with caution as there is concern of movement with boulders. The proposed stairway is adequate. The resolution would include conditions 1-5 as noted in the staff report. 10 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION lvlEETING HEID ON APRIL 21, 1997 (#7 -#2221 Joseph Vochko -Continued) Mr. Vochk:o said the boulder wall was required for erosion control. He had thought the contractor had obtained the necessary permits. There had originally been a railroad tie wall. He did not wish to replace the same type of wall or block type as they would require geo-grid material. The boulders will follow the terrain of°the hillside to produce a natural look for the purpose of stabilizing the hill. The applicant said he plans on adding low bushes. The Building Inspector and City Engineer came out to the site and asked his engineering consultant to anchor any boulders that might require additional stabilization. There were no public comments. Smith questioned whether the hill would still erode. Schroeder noted that engineers will generally not approve boulder walls. The applicant indicated that the hill as viewed by the Commissioners was not as planned as the work had been stopped in mid construction. He noted he plans on adding cedar chips and vegetation. · Lindquist moved, Schroeder seconded, to approve the after-the-fact variance and CUP subject to conditions #1-5. Vote: Ayes 7, Nays 0. (#8) #2225 JOHN THEOBALD, 4101 IDGBWOOD ROAD -VARIANCES - PUBLIC BEARING 9:08-9:10 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. The Applicant was present along with architect, Stu Hoarn. Gaffron reported that the application was a request for variance renewal for construction of a new residence to replace the existing residence. The variances previously granted and being requested are for street setback (25' where 30' is required), west side setback (9.5' where 10 is required), and east side setback (6' where 101 is required). Lot area variance is • required from the I acre minimum for the 85 SO s.f. property. The lot width is 46-50' where 140' is the standard. A variance to allow 75-250' hardcover of 1956 s.f. or 40% is requested where 1220 s.f or 25% is normally allowed. There are no changes to the application. Gaffron indicated Staff is continuing to work with the applicant regarding drainage on the property. Hoarn indicated the previous resolution asked for a grading plan which the applicant still intends to provide. There were no public comments. 11 03/14/97 16:35 F J VOCHKO ➔ 5469065 ~,JO. 057 P005 HARDCO~CULATION WORKSHEET SETBACK ZONE: (CIRCLE ONE) ~ 7S-250' 250-500' . l l ~""" ,''"""·•·,,.

We have the following comments in regards to engineering matters. 1. Retaining Wall: The design prepared by GME Consultants, Inc. appears to be acceptable from an engineering standpoint. The applicant should contact the City at least 48 hours prior to the wall installation to schedule a series of inspections. The inspectors should verify that the construction recommendations detailed in the GME report are implemented in the field. 2. Bluff Toe Protection: The random placement of boulders previously done at the property includes boulders placed nearly on top of each other at a steep slope, with uncompacted fill placed between them. The previously placed boulders should be reinstalled so that there is a horizontal separation between the front and back of the two rows of boulders, in accordance with the cross sectional detail provided with the GME design. 2. Erosion Control: Prior to starting the work, proper erosion control measures must be in place, such as silt fence. Shortly after the work is completed, the disturbed areas should be sodded or seeded with a suitable ·ground cover. Please contact me at this office if you have any questions regarding this matter.

This work was performed in accordance with your written acceptance of our contract dated February 13, 1997. Project Description The property owner, Mr. Joe Vochko, has retained you to construct a granite block retaining wall on the residential lot at 2925 Casco Point Road in Orono. The existing wooden stairway and timber retaining walls leading from the residence down to Lake Minnetonka have been removed. You plan to reconstruct the stairway and retaining walls using cut Cold Spring granite blocks and slabs. Each granite retaining wall block is trapezoidal in shape with dimensions of 6-5/8 inches high by 10 inches deep by 14 inches long. Each block weighs approximately 80 pounds. We have attached with this report a copy of the site plan you prepared showing the location of the wall and wall heights. The wall will have a maximum height of 5.25 feet in one corner of the walkway (designated as the intersection of walls A and B). From this corner, the wall will slope downward to a minimum height of 1.84 feet (three blocks). At the tallest wall sections, you plan to anchor the blocks into the hillside using conventional helical screw anchors fastened to the blocks with threaded anchor bolts. The walls and stairway will be constructed at the same location and same heights as the previous timber wall. WILLIAM C. KWASNY, P.E. GREGORY R. REUTER, P.E. MARK D. MILLSOP, P.G. THOMAS PAUL VENEMA, P.E. CHARLES M. ALLGOOD, P.E. SANDRA J. FORREST, P.G. An Equal Opportunity Employer WILLIAM E. BLOEMENDAL, P.E. MERVYN MINDESS, P.E. STEVEN J. RUESINK, P.E. Mr. Steven Spartz GME Project No. 6721 2 February 18, 1997 As an additional component of the project, you have placed 3 foot diameter boulders approximately 4 to 5 feet behind the existing rock riprap along the level bench in the slope at the toe of the hillside. These boulders were placed for erosion control at the toe of the slope. This spring, you plan to fill the voids between the boulders with soil to establish a vegetative growth. Scope of Services Our scope of services for this project, as outlined in our contract, is limited to providing design and construction recommendations for the proposed granite block retaining wall, and also to present our evaluations concerning the suitability of the boulders for erosion protection. Our scope of services do not include a global stability analysis of the hillside. Our wall recommendations will only be provided with respect to local stability of the wall system and erosional stability of the boulder facing zone. Design Recommendations Soil information is not available, therefore, we have had to make certain assumptions for our design. We assume that the foundation and retained soil will consist of stiff sandy clay till having a moist unit weight of 130 pounds per cubic foot, a drained friction angle of 27°, and a remolded undrained shear strength of 250 pounds per square foot. The walls should be embedded at least one block course (6.5 inches) below final grade in front of the wall. We recommend that the lowest block layer bear on a compacted gravel or crushed stone base having minimum dimensions of 6 inches deep by 18 inches wide. The gravel should conform to Mn/DOT 3149.2B. The gravel or crushed stone base should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum Standard Proctor dry density, ASTM: D 698. Prior to constructing the granular base, the exposed clay subgrade should be observed for soft or loose zones. These zones would require additional subcutting and replacement with compacted granular fill. A 1 foot wide piece of filter fabric (Mn/DOT 3 73 3, Type 1) should be placed on top of the gravel base course, beneath the joint between the lowest block course and the granite walkway slab in front, to minimize pumping of the base course through the joint. The fabric should not extend beneath the entire width of block. We recommend that the block wall be constructed with a slight batter of 6° (3/4 inch setback per block) back into the retained embankment. We recommend that the backfill within at least 6 inches of the back of the wall consist of free draining granular fill such as Mn/DOT 3149.2H. At the base of the drainage layer, we recommend placing a 4 inch diameter slotted pipe (Mn/DOT 3278) wrapped with a Type I filter fabric (Mn/DOT 3733). The drain pipe should allow gravity drainage of accumulated water away from the walls. Therefore, the pipe should daylight down slope. '--------------------GME CONSULTANTS, INC. --------------------' Mr. Steven Spartz GME Project No. 6721 3 February 18, 1997 Where the walls are higher than three block courses in height, we recommend that each block ( including the blocks below three block courses) be adhered together with a high modulus outdoor construction epoxy, such as Hilte Cl00 or Seca 32. The use of the epoxy is required since the blocks have very little block to block shear resistance. Please be advised, however, that by adhering the blocks, some cracking may occur over time, due to frost induced movement. Where the wall is higher than four block courses in height, we also recommend restraining the wall by the installation of earth anchors. The anchors should be 5 feet long and have a single 6 inch diameter helix at the end. Anchors should be attached to the fourth and seventh block courses. We recommend that the anchors be spaced two block courses horizontally. We have amended your elevation drawings to indicate the location of the anchors. These amended drawings are attached. The anchors should be carefully rotated horizontally into the clay soil. Careful installation of the anchors will be required to reduce disturbance of the clay as the helix and shaft enter the soil. Each ar.chor m1.1st: be installed so that the entire 5 foot length is em~edded in~o cha soil. 7he anchor should be properly tensioned and appropriately secured to the block. In our opinion, the attachment detail you indicate on your drawings would be adequate. Included with this report is a diagram that you had prepared outlining the bluff toe protection that you have partially implemented by the installation of the 3 foot diameter boulders. During our site visit of February 12, 1997, we observed that the boulders had already been placed. We recommend that the voids between the boulders be filled with topsoil, and that the vegetative growth be established (Mn/DOT 2575) on the exposed topsoil between the boulders. Some slumping of the topsoil may occur with time, into the voids, and these slumped zones should be backfilled with topsoil, and vegetation should be re­ established. In our opinion, this toe protection should be adequate for erosion control of the exposed slope face at the location of the boulders, provided that adequate vegetation can be established and maintained between the boulders. Concluding Comments We recommend that you complete the "Project Quality Contractor - Project Completion Form" after construction. It is understood by all parties that the contractor will be responsible for the methods and results of his/her work. We will not warrant, assure, or guarantee the work of the contractor. The contractor must comply with the latest OSHA regulations for trench and slope excavation, and general construction site safety. The contractor must designate one of his field personnel as the OSHA "Competent Person" who must be capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards on site, including temporary slope stability. The Competent Person must have authorization to direct prompt corrective measures to eliminate hazards. GME will not accept any responsibility or liability for construction safety on this project . ..._ _________________ GME CONSULTANTS, INC. --------------------' Mr. Steven Spartz GME Project No. 6721 4 February 18, 1997 The recommendations contained in this report are based on our understanding of the project and represent our professional judgement.

Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 -0066 The City has been notified by the MWCD that a permit has been issued to Stephen Spartz at Landview Landscaping for rip-rap work on your shoreline . As part of this work, the contractor is proposing approximately 30 yards of fill landward of the new rip-rap. We have informed Mr. Spartz that per Orono City Code such fill will not be allowed without a conditional use permit approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. If you wish to proceed with this part of your project, the next possible meeting for Planning Commission's consideration would be April 21, 1997. All submittals for that meeting must be in this office by noon, March 28. I have enclosed the application information. You will want to contact Jeanne Mabusth of the Zoning Department as soon as possible to get the process started. I have also included several letters which reference this project so that you are completely informed about the City's policy on lakeshore fill. Also our agreement with Mr. Spartz to inspect the site as work ·is underway, and perhaps allow a few wheelbarrows of black dirt to aide in restoration. Fillin'g. yvithin 75 feet of the Ordinary High Water Level of public waters in the City of Orono i/.d granted a conditional use permit is unlawful and punishable as a misdemeanor. Bruce L.

Delegation of Pem1itting Authority to St,1te \Vater Law. Dear Jeanne, It is my understanding based on our most recent conversation, concerning the Joe Vocko Project, that your city needs Discretionary Standards for ,,·hen ,1 project in the 0-75 zone needs a Individual City Pennit or a State D0-'R Individual Penn it (No,v governed by the lvICVv'D under tvll\T Stat. 103G.245. Below I have two Proposals for use in Discretion. Below the two projects I have labeled reasons for the two proposals. I. .i\ny Riprnp Project in which the entire project is within 25' of the OH\V is governed by State Pennitting Authority and not City Pennitting Authority. A. This zone is usually disturbed during construction or needs improvement to better enhance the riprnp project itself II. i\ny Shoreline Stabilization project within the 0-75' zone is governed by State Pennitting Authority and not City Pennitting Authority. A A.-; you are mvare many properties on the Lake within your city are located on Bluffs with very steep and high emb,mkments. \, B. The DNR has been in recent years have working on erosion control plans using vegetation, internal fill stabilization, and retainingwalls when needed for these projects. Page 2 of 3 C. Enclosed is a Stabilization Project in the City of .tviinnetrista that I am working on. I will be sending a copy to the DNR (MC\iVD) for pennitting authority. Although this project is located ,vay above the OH\:V, this property is losing the above property into the Lake, and therefore should be g1.wemed by State \Vater Pennitting Law and Not Local City Penuitting. D. I personally believe that we should minimize the use of retainingwalls in the 0-75' zone. And they should only be pem1itted when it is infeasible for vegetative plant material to grow due to bternl root growth (Too Steep for pbnt roots to grow and stabilize pbnt itself) or very high water runoff (Activity). E. Hard Cover material should be used at the toe of the steep embankments for toe protection of the embankments susceptible to erosion. Such as Riprnp. These two proposals still alow for city authority over the projects and aids the contractor, homeowner and regulatory authorities in streamlining the pem1iting process. That is what the ,vater law was created for. Please use these discretionary standards in the future.
